Got to see George a few years back at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola. I started chatting up a pretty blonde sitting next to me at the bar. Turns out it was his wife!

I just got one at GC that had the same problem. I paid $50 for their setup option and they fixed it. They are easy to fix. Also, I added a Fender thumb rest. The pickup was in the way of where I wanted it, so I had carve out some of the thumb rest and use one of the pickup screws. Happy with...

Interesting update to this thread. I used the same cable with a different bass, this one with a Realist pickup. It had the same problem. When I reversed the cable and put the straight end into the pickup jack, it was fine.

Just bought a D'addario right angle jack cord. When connected to the Fishman Full Circle, it works but makes a crackling sound. A straight cord works fine. Returned the cord to the store and got another, and it has the same problem. Anyone seen something like this? Or can you tell me a right...

Merci.

Anyone know where I could rent a bass for a week in Montreal this summer. Doesn't have to be orchestra quality - plywood is fine. Thanks.

Installed on bass only 1 week. Retails for $60 at Quinn Violins. Sell for $40 + shipping.

Hope it's not too late to revive this thread. I have the same problem as the OP. Putting the amp on a chair worked with my old GK150, but the Ten2 is too big to tilt back in a chair. On the floor, even with the tilt legs, the optimum distance to stand from the amp is about 5'. I am going to try...

This is for my beater bass, so it doesn't have to be in perfect shape, as long as it closes and has a handle or two. The bass is a small 3/4, so I think either a 3/4 or a 5/8 bag would work.

This is an experiment, so I don't want to pay too much. Have some items to trade if interested - strings, crown mic, 2 channel mixer, etc. Thanks.

Any tango players out there? I am playing in a tango orchestra and I am a German bow player. However, search as I might, I have never seen a video of a genuine Argentinian tango bassist playing with a German bow. Now I'm wondering if I am at a disadvantage trying to do this music with a German...

Used about six weeks. Untrimmed and in perfect condition. In original packaging. $100/best offer.

I noticed on the Upton Bass web site that they sell a string set with Obligato G & D and Spirocore medium E and A. They call it "Gary's Blended" string set. Wondered if anyone has tried this combo? Here's the link: Invalid Link Removed

Here's my journey thus far. I recently inherited some money so I decided to put together my "dream rig." This consisted of a Wunderlich carved German bass, a Full Circle pickup, and an AI Ten2 amp. The bass alone sounds great (it came from the shop with Obligato strings and I haven't changed...

I am considering replacing my GK MB150 with an AI TEN2. But I'm wondering how the TEN2 works as an onstage monitor in a large venue with a sound system. With GK, I often place the amp on a chair or tilted back leaning on a wall or my gig bag so the sound goes straight to my ear. Can you do...
